In partnership with Alameda County Medical Center in Oakland, California, the California Pacific Medical Center Pulmonary Critical Care Fellowship provides its trainees with a well-rounded education in all aspects of pulmonary and critical care medicine. The two medical centers care for diverse patient populations and allow for exposure to a breadth of pulmonary and critical care pathologies. The fellowship strives to provide participating fellows the highest quality training in compassionate, evidence-based, high-quality, cost-effective care.

In 2021, in order to grow with the blossoming medical center and educational opportunities at CPMC the fellowship received support for program expansion and currently accepts two fellows per academic year. We will reach our full complement of six fellows during the 2022-23 academic year. The graduate medical education office at CPMC supports numerous training programs and fellows will work alongside trainees in internal medicine residency, and fellows in general and advanced heart failure cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, gastroenterology, hematology/oncology, neurocritical care, and endocrinology. 

 California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) 

Alameda County Medical Center-Highland Hospital is in Oakland and its mission is to maintain and improve the health of all Alameda County residents, regardless of their ability to pay. As a public hospital located in one of the most diverse urban counties in the nation, Highland Hospital serves as the area’s level one trauma center. In 2020 Highland Hospital completed a multi-million dollar capital upgrades project and fellows will be able to train at this renovated medical center during their medical ICU, pulmonary consult, trauma, and ultrasound rotations. First year fellows will experience a pulmonary continuity clinic with a panel of patients who have a wide array of advanced pathologies, many of whom have not had access to regular medical care.

 Davies Campus 

A short shuttle ride away the Davies Campus is home to our renowned neuro ICU and the newly renovated Mission Bernal Campus houses our full service pulmonary function laboratory, rehabilitation program, and a ten-bed medical ICU. Fellows will rotate through both locations in their second and third years.
